Imagine smoking in the streets without cops harassing
Imagine going to court with no trial
Lifestyle cruising blue behind my waters
No welfare supporters more conscious of the way we raise our daughters
Days are shorter nights are colder
Feeling like life is over these snakes strike like a cobra
The world's hot my son got knocked evidently
it's elementary they want us all gone eventually
Trooping out of state for a plate knowledge
If was cooked without the garbage
we'd all have the top dollars
Imagine everybody flashing fashion designer clothes lacing your click up with diamond vogues
Your people holding dough no parole no rubbers go in raw
Imagine law with no undercovers
Just some thoughts for the mind
I take a glimpse into time watch the blimp read
The world is mine
If I ruled the world
Imagine that I'd free all my sons
I love'em love'em baby
Black diamonds and pearls
Could it be if you could be mine
we'd both shine
If I ruled the world
Still living for today in these last days
The way to be paradise like relaxing
Black Latino and Anglo Saxon Armani Exchange the reins cash lost tribe of Shabazz Free
at last brand new whips to crash then
we laugh in the iller path
The villa houses for the crew
how we do
Trees for breakfast
Dime sixes and Benz stretches So many years of depression
make me vision the better living type of place to raise kids in
Open they eyes to the lies history told foul but
I'm as wise as the old owl plus the gold child
Seeing things like I was controlling click rolling
Tricking six digits on kicks and still holding
Trips to Paris
I civilized every savage
Gimme one shot I turn trife life to lavish
Political prisoner set free stress free no work release purple
M3s and jet skis the wind breeze in
West
Indies
I make Coretta Scott-King mayor the cities and reverse themes to Willies
It sounds foul but every girl
I meet to go downtown
I'd open every cell in Attica send em to Africa
If I ruled the world
Imagine that I'd free all my sons
I love'em love'em baby
Black diamonds and pearls
Could it be if you could be mine we'd both shine
If I ruled the world
Still living for today
And then we’ll walk right up to the sun hand in hand
We’ll walk right up to the sun
We won't land
We’ll walk right up to the sun
hand in hand
well walk right up to the sun
we won't land
You'd love to hear the story
how the thugs live in worry
Duck down in car seats heat's mandatory
Running from
Jake getting chased hunger for papes
These are the breaks many mistakes go down out of state
Wait I had to let it marinate
We carry weight trying to get laced flip the ace stack the safe
Millionaire plan to keep the gat with the cop camera
Making moves in Atlanta back
and forth scrambler ‘Cause you could have all the chips be poor
or rich still nobody want a having
If I ruled the world and everything in it
sky's the limit
I push a Q-45
Infinit It wouldn't be no such thing as jealousies
or B felonies
Strictly living longevity to the destiny thought
I'd never see but reality struck
Better find out before your time's out
If I ruled the world
I'd free all my sons
Black diamonds and pearls
If I ruled the world
If I ruled the world
I'd free all my sons
Black diamonds and pearls
If I ruled the world If I ruled the world
I'd free all my sons
Black diamonds and pearls
If I ruled the world
If I ruled the world
I love'em love'em baby
